PVP
We love families who volunteer!
Rehoboth values community and to help build a stronger school community, the participation of parents and families is needed. Every year we ask each family to give 10 hours of volunteering throughout the school year. PVP hours are also received when parents are involved in certain Parent Community meetings.
Volunteering benefits for parents and the school
Studies have shown the positive impact when parents, guardians, or adults volunteer within the school system such as:
- Attendance rate increases
- Test scores increase
- Student behavior improves
In addition, students imitate what they see and lead to students more likely to volunteer when they see parents, guardians, or adults volunteer. Students also feel valued as the adults in their lives get to know their friends, teachers and routines.
10 hours
Community is built as parents get to know each other and the staff of the school.
We ask each family to give 10 hours of volunteering throughout the school year. The family could include the students' extended family such as an older sibling, aunt, uncle, grandparent, etc. PVP hours are also received when parents are involved in certain Parent Community meetings.
How does PVP work?
The Parent News (sent every Thursday by email) will have a list of opportunities to volunteer. If interested, contact Verlena Livingston, the Director of Community Life, at vlivingston@rcsnm.org who will give you more details.
If for some reason, you can not find 10 hours during the school year, you are asked to donate $8.00 per hour that was not used for volunteering. This can be paid at the Administration Building or added onto your tuition
Volunteer check-in procedures
- Sign in at the school office or the staff in charge of the event when you arrive
- Be sure to wear your volunteer badge
- Record your hours when finished (online or paper form)
- Sign out when you leave
Reporting volunteer hours
We appreciate all our family volunteers! We ask for all parents and family members who volunteer for a RCS student to report their hours by filling out the form.
Once your hours are reported, we will also update your hours in the Family Portal account where parents can view the total volunteer hours.
